O presente relatório foi elaborado no âmbito da unidade curricular de estágio, com o
objetivo de concluir a licenciatura em Enfermagem Veterinária na Escola Superior de
Biociências de Elvas. O estágio decorreu na Clínica Veterinária Solvet em Portimão, onde
foi retratada a casuística observada pela aluna durante 13 semanas, tendo iniciado no dia
12 de fevereiro de 2024. Durante o período de estágio a aluna acompanhou 321 animais,
no total, 115 felinos, onde verificou que a enfermidade mais frequente era a doença renal
crónica, comparadamente com as outras espécies incidia com maior prevalência em
gatos. A doença renal crónica é uma enfermidade que afeta maioritariamente animais
geriátricos, contudo a idade não é um fator predisponente. Os rins são órgãos vitais que
desempenham inúmeras funções, quando existem alterações morfofisiológicas
irreversíveis a nível renal, estes órgãos deixam de efetuar de forma eficaz o seu papel,
estimulando mecanismos compensatórios. É importante diagnosticar precocemente esta
doença e estadiar de forma a evitar vastas complicações em outros sistemas,
implementando um tratamento individual adequado. Embora não seja uma medicina
tradicional, recorre-se ao uso de ozono como um tratamento adjuvante, uma vez que,
o seu uso apresenta propriedades terapêuticas eficientes em diversos distúrbios. De
modo a evitar sequelas a nível renal e sistémico, é importante avaliar qual o fármaco
mais apropriado a utilizar de acordo com o estado geral do animal. É fundamental a
monitorização constante, percebendo alterações significativas nestes pacientes, assim
sendo o papel do enfermeiro veterinário é imprescindível.
This report was drawn up as part of the internship curricular unit, with the aim of completing the degree in Veterinary Nursing at the Escola Superior de Biociências de Elvas. The internship took place at the Solvet Veterinary Clinic in Portimão, where the casuistry observed by the student was portrayed for 13 weeks, starting on February 12, 2024. During the internship period, the student monitored 321 animals, a total of 115 felines, where she found that the most common ailment was chronic kidney disease, which was more prevalent in cats than in other species. Chronic kidney disease is an illness that mostly affects geriatric animals, although age is not a predisposing factor. The kidneys are vital organs that perform numerous functions. When there are irreversible morphophysiological changes at the renal level, these organs no longer perform their role effectively, stimulating compensatory mechanisms. It is important to diagnose this disease early and stage it in order to avoid extensive complications in other systems, implementing appropriate individual treatment. Although it is not a traditional medicine, ozone is used as an adjuvant treatment, since its use has efficient therapeutic properties in various disorders. In order to avoid renal and systemic sequelae, it is important to assess the most appropriate drug to use according to the animal's general condition. Constant monitoring is essential in order to notice significant changes in these patients, so the role of the veterinary nurse is essential.
